CLAUSING 15" HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Clausing 15" Horizontal Machining Center is a precision engine lathe engineered for general machining and production work. This machine features a maximum turning diameter of 9.7 inches with a 50-inch maximum turning length, accommodating mid-sized workpieces for diverse applications. The main spindle delivers a maximum swing of 15.7 inches over the bed, enabling efficient chip clearance and workholding flexibility. Operating at 2,000 RPM with 7.5 horsepower, the spindle provides consistent cutting power for both roughing and finishing operations. The machine incorporates a two-axis control system with 9.8 inches of cross-slide (X-axis) travel and 50 inches of longitudinal (Z-axis) travel, allowing precise tool positioning and workpiece manipulation. The slide-mounted primary tool carrier accommodates a single cutting tool at a time, delivering focused cutting performance. With a hardened and ground alloy steel bed measuring 12.5 inches in width, the lathe ensures superior rigidity and dimensional stability during machining operations. The spindle nose utilizes a D1-6 camlock design for quick and secure tooling changes. Standard equipment includes a coolant system, chuck guard, and leadscrew cover for operator safety and machine protection. This combination of robust construction, moderate horsepower, and compact footprint makes the Clausing 15" ideal for tool and die shops, job shops, and maintenance facilities requiring reliable general-purpose machining capabilities with repeatability and accuracy.
